Wednesday, June 1 Visions West Contemporary Theodore Waddell, solo show of new works. Waddell's depictions of the vast landscape, horses, and cattle are not typical of most Western art due to the influence of the abstract expressionist movement on his practice. Waddell's solo exhibition will include the monumental painting Vincent's Angus #4, 1995, as well as works on paper and recent oil paintings. Through July 9 Abend Gallery Austin Howlett solo exhibition. "Six years ago, I coined the term "Terra Human" as a name for my newly emerging series of paintings depicting humans seamlessly merged with nature. I began this series to explore human emotions through their connection with nature.... The complexity of the human spirit, at times, needs the support of its natural surroundings in order to find balance and peace. My paintings ask viewers to do the terrifying work of addressing our deepest emotions so that we can better understand ourselves and shift our outlook on the world to a more empathetic viewpoint."

Friday, June 3 Space Gallery Artist Reception, 6-9pm New works by Michael Hedges and Karine Leger. Hedges: "My paintings are a synthesis of color, line, form and texture. They begin as a problem of two or more color relationships to be explored through form. The form is loosely defined by a drawing that acts as a skeleton and ecto-skeleton both beneath and above the finished work. The application of the media to the painting surface is of utmost importance to me." Leger: Deeply connected to her personal life, superimposed layers of images and transparent acrylics has its own story to tell. The shapes seem anthropomorphic at times, reflecting that constant desire for balance. But they only reveal just enough, allowing plenty of room for the viewers to find their own interpretation or story. Through August 20 Plinth Gallery New works by ceramic artist Lauren Owens. Since geometry has been part of every civilization to define spatial reasoning, it was the pervasive use in modern design that peaked Owens' interest. The angles, lines, and shapes matched with chromatic colors of the mid-century was her Ah-Ha moment. "I design useful objects that embrace the repetitions of form with clean lines and crisp angles. I make my own models and molds and I slip cast the pieces using a cone 6 white ware clay body pigmented with ceramic stains."

Wednesday, June 8 Abend Gallery A collector preview of Calvin Lai's upcoming solo exhibition. All works are available online for purchase now. Artist Statement: "I was born an all-or-nothing kind of guy, and though I've learned the nuance of grey areas I'm still fascinated with extremes. Perhaps it's this that causes me to viscerally feel the battle between opposite forces, something, in this day and age, we are all suffering through. The struggle we face today is knocking all of us off balance, and everyone seems to be scrambling to regain their equilibrium. This search is the foundation for Seeking Balance, a new series of 8 paintings that explores the figure in order to find that point between extremes. Seeking Balance is a creative journey towards that place between extremes and a state of mind where balance exists. Every piece I finished helped me get closer to remaining in that place. Every piece is a testament to its existence on and off the picture plane. -Calvin Lai		Abend Gallery Calvin Lai

Amiri’s piercingly tender textile works focus on passage from room to room within the home, emblematic of transitions through life, and the family rituals and traditions that take place there Through June 18   David Cook Fine Art Maggie Ross, Director 1637 Wazee Street Denver, Colorado 80202    map Phone:      303.623.8181 Website:    www.davidcookfineart.com Hours:      10:30 - 6:00 Tuesday through Saturday and by appointment Exhibition to be announced   Gallery 1261  LLC 1261 Delaware Street Denver, CO 80204   map   phone: 303.571.1261 website:   www.gallery1261.com Hours:     Tue - Sat: 12-6pm Friday, June 24 Artist's Reception, 6-8 PM Solo exhibition of paintings by Ulrich Gleiter.

Martha Hughes exhibit, Above Beyond. In her latest series of large-scale oil paintings, Martha Hughes utilizes vibrant color combinations and asymmetrical forms to envelop the viewer, creating new spaces, perspectives, and narratives. Meticulous brushstrokes of explosive yellows, greens, blues, and pinks reverberate against the hard lines, edges, and angles of geometric shapes. Color and form are in constant conversation, creating a complex tension between exterior and interior, lightness and weight, play and precision, independence and coexistence.

It is fascinating, inspiring and reflective; it is pure and tranquil while simultaneously tempestuous and forbidding. It is impossible to control, unreliable and marvelously mysterious. It is water, and it is the creative source of expression for the six artists in CASTING CURRENTS. Whether utilizing it as a medium itself, finding inspiration in simply viewing it, or looking to its depths for further meaning, this group exhibition explores the fluidity, symbolism and representation of our life source. Join us to explore connections between water and artwork, as well as showcasing our harmonious relationships with the outside world.

Order of Disappearance, a solo exhibition by renowned Denver painter, Amy Metier and on the mezzanine we are introducing Ohio based artist, Melinda Rosenberg.  Amy Metier states that, “The work in this show has been inspired by my time painting at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation, an artist’s residency in County Mayo, Ireland. Some paintings are influenced by a specific place; others respond to the light, the changing weather, the history, the ancient spirits and the mystery that infused my time and experience there. Each painting develops intuitively and the process invariably involves reworking, visibly painting out areas, even completely starting over to meet an elusive end goal that exists in my subconscious.” Melinda Rosenberg paints, cuts, and “folds” found wood to create abstract wall installations that intersect painting and sculpture. The artist’s process begins with collecting scraps of wood found in old barns and lumber yards throughout rural Ohio. Rosenberg then repurposes and alters the wood by painting directly on its surface before sanding, cutting, and adjoining the various pieces together. The result is an origami-like construction where divergent pieces of wood meet in an unexpected, yet harmonious balance.
